I'm going! I'll be the really tall one that has to leave early, but I'll be there.
This is how much Norm impresses me. Friday I am driving to Wichita Falls to play in the symphony (my regular gig). They put us up in a nice hotel after the friday night rehearsal, and the I usually have a nice mornign off until the 1:30 practice for a Saturday night Concert.
This time, I am driving back home after the friday rehearsal (2.5 hours), going to the clinic Saturday morning, and them leave the clinic a little early so i can be in place by 1:15 (call time)
I already talked to Norm and he understands that I have to leave, not that I want to leave.

For those of you anywhere close to Texas, Norm is great and would be worth your time to come (it's free)
Embellisher, you going to be there?

I went to the clinic he just had in Manchester NH. Norm is unbelievable. He stayed and answered everybody's questions. He talked with everyone. I was lucky enough to hang with Norm the night before the clinic, and he is so humble and unassuming. We jammed and talked bass, talked drummers, talked pianists with heavy left hands. It is well worth the price of admission to see and hear Norm do his stuff. (and it's cool to meet other guys from Talkbass, too.)

Here is all of the important information.
Saturday December 14th 9-11AM
New world UMC
5134 northwest Highway
Garland Tx
This is near the intersection of Centerville and 635.
Just call Roger Moncus at (972) 875-6845 to let him know you are coming. He lives in Ennis, so it may be a long distance call for most of you. I say this only because the first time I called, I got a message saying I the number did not exist. I dialed a 1, and that soved that problem

In Manchester, there were quite a few basses. I brought my fretless 'cause Norm asked me to. I actually bought it from him a few months ago. A few churchbass guys were there and we all stood around before and after trying everyone else's basses.

Here is something that some of you might be interested in. Norm is hosting a forum over on
Bassically.com. I wish he was here, but it's still a great place to ask questions and chat. Here is the address.
